Varillas’ falsified citations and imaginary sources, in volumes 1-4 of this work (the only relevant volumes) drew forth the itemized refutations, and replies to his replies, by Bishop Gilbert Burnet in 1686-87 (see Bib# 4102905/Fr# 385 in this collection).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_4102904" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.
